A member of the lovely Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. it does me great pleasure to call this lady my "soror". The self-published C. Quarles used personal life experiences and experiences of others to provide a well-rounded perspective on "casual sex" in her book Pretty, Crossed & Tempted. She writes...

In today's society, where unlimited freedom and instant gratification are the norm, women have become the victims of these unfortunate tends. Low standards and lack of self-control have turned bedrooms into emotionless playgrounds where casual sex flows freely. As a result, relationships between women and men have turned sour.

As stated by the author, herself, the book "Pretty, Crossed, & Tempted details how women can avoid this dangerous trap.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Quarles this week, and the conversation go pretty deep on and off camera! And believe me... if you think you know what the book is all about, I'm 99/9% sure you're wrong. No spoilers here though... You gotta get it for yourself. :)

In our interview, not only did we discuss the book's very realistic content, we also talked about an event she's putting on to foster open and honest adult dialogue called "Sex In The City" where she will join entertainment promoter, Douglas DA Arnold of Arnold Boyz Entertainment, in talking about the relational norm and affects of having casual sex for men, but ultimately for women.

The forum is an opportunity for Texarkana's men and women, single and taken, to come out and get their questions answered as well as share their experiences and opinions.
